It is raining hard. The few locations without rain are cowering under thick grey clouds which thin out not until afternoon. That is too late to launch "Passepartout".

Together with Dr. Fernando Ortega and Dr. Renee Condori we visited some sites in the desert in order to retrieve data from their measuring stations.

The goal was to catalogue this site with the Scout Rapid Analysis Questionnaire, take photos and soil samples. Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:13:32 +0100 http://www.oewf.org/cms/index.php?aid=693
